According to the Committee on Food Marketing and the Diets of Children and Youth (2006), healthier choices such as fruits and vegetables are like the plain sisters of the food world. They lack the luster and glitz of their flashier siblings, packaged foods. A majority of processed foods are “branded”, which has been shown to help people form opinions and develop feelings about their products. Only about one-fifth of fruits and vegetables are branded, whereas four-fifths of packaged foods are branded. Branded food products lend themselves easily to advertising, which insidiously make their way into our homes with promises of less time spent in the kitchen, convenience, and tastefulness. However, nutrition is compromised. Also, packaged foods have additives to make them more “palatable”, including fats, sugars, preservatives, food dyes, and other chemicals. This is why food companies are so successful at marketing their products, and why nutritional powerhouses such as brown rice have a more difficult time competing. Processed foods are highly marketable and to people who have become accustomed to eating extra sugar [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fat, and sodium, packaged foods taste good.
As the World Health Organization (2010) stated, whole grains should be a part of every person’s diet for health, longevity, and to prevent weight gain and obesity. However, when looking at what is available on the grocery store shelves, there just doesn’t seem to be many options available. The amount of overly processed foods far outweigh whole grain options.
Brown rice can be more difficult to work with than white rice, and the taste can be a bit “bran” like. The addition of the millet, for some reason, slightly changes the taste and texture of the brown rice. It mellows out the bran-like taste, and softens the brown rice so it doesn’t turn out rubbery or mushy. Moreover, the millet adds more nutrition to the recipe. Add the two to an electric rice cooking pot, and not only is it nutritious, but easy to make as well.
